“Dear PoPville,
It sounded like two explosions, one small and then big. It was very loud and sounded like it was around Dupont, but people as far away as Chevy Chase heard it around 9:30pm. There has been zero in the news media. I am still wondering what it was.”
Peter also reported just after 9:30pm last night:
“Five minutes ago, heard what sounded like a cannon going off near 14th and W NW”
As we approach fireworks season, I’m wondering if those super loud M80 type dynamite detonations have started early? We get reports of mysterious explosions every summer like clockwork.
